Fire crews were called to Lancashire Hill in Stockport today (20 January) to attend to a blaze in one of the blocks.

The fire broke out in a bedroom in the Bentleys building - a fire hose could be seen going into a window on the first floor of the block.

Three fire engines attended the scene from around 10.40am.

There have been no reported injuries.

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: "At around 10.40am today (Tuesday 19 January), fire engines from across Greater Manchester and an aerial appliance from Bolton Central fire station attended a fire involving a bedroom in a block of flats on Lancashire Hill, Stockport.

"Crews wearing breathing apparatus arrived quickly and used a safety jet, three smoke curtains, a gas monitor and a battery positive pressure ventilator to extinguish the fire.

"Firefighters remain in attendance at this time to dampen down the area."
